Abstract
Disclosed is a medical device having an elastic modulus of 100 kPa or more and 2,000 kPa or less, a water content of 10% by mass or less, a tensile elongation of 50% or more and 3,000% or less, and a dynamic contact angle (advancing angle) relative to a borate buffer of 80° or less. The present invention can significantly reduce or avoid a phenomenon of adhesion to a surface when contacted with a surface outside or inside the body, which has hitherto been regarded as a problem in a conventional medical device.
